There are five points to pay attention to in raising minks.

First, raise marten well

Breed marten requires bright fur, consistent color of back and abdomen, short needle hair, flush hair, high density, uniform distribution, soft hair, good elasticity, needle hair slightly longer than wool, sable without white needle hair and white spot. This kind of mink fur is of good quality.

Second, do a good job in the feeding and management of the breeding period.

The breeding male mink will be reared in the preparatory period of mating in late January. During the breeding period, it is necessary to ensure the supply of high-quality fine feed for male minks, with animal feed such as fresh blood, eggs, milk and fish accounting for more than 80%. At the same time, drugs for nourishing yin and invigorating yang, such as Liuwei Dihuang pills, Herba Epimedii and vitamin E, vitamin B, vitamin C, etc., are added. It is necessary to put an end to inbreeding and prevent the degeneration of marten. In the late pregnancy of the female mink, it is necessary to ensure the supply of high-quality feed and remove the adrenal gland, pituitary gland and other organs containing sex hormones when slaughtering animals to avoid stillbirth or abortion after feeding.

Third, pay attention to heat preservation to improve the survival rate of young minks.

After the baby mink is born, hot water bags should be placed on both sides of the litter box to keep warm, so as to improve the survival rate of the young mink.

IV. Prevention of diseases

Generally speaking, in the period of rapid growth and development of young minks (July to August), the air temperature is high, the air humidity is high, the feed is easy to deteriorate, and the mink is very easy to suffer from digestive tract diseases. Fresh purslane, primrose, plantain seed, purple flower, dandelion and other Chinese herbs should be added to the feed. This can not only reduce feed costs, but also prevent heat and prevent enteritis, dysentery and other infectious diseases of the digestive tract. Vaccines such as canine distemper, paratyphoid fever and Pasteurella multocida will be vaccinated from June to July to prevent infectious diseases.

Fifth, strengthen nutrition during depilation period

Minks enter the hair changing period, in addition to feeding high-quality concentrate feed, but also add vegetable oil (soybean oil or peanut oil, etc.) and vitamin B2, each mink is fed 10 mg a day.
